Noank Lighthouse

"You become somewhat an armature weather forecaster when you live in a lighthouse at the end of a point," says owner Jason Pilalas. A combination of a love of the water, navel history, and architecture, led Jason Pilalas to want to own a lighthouse. In October 1991, Pilalas got his chance and purchased the Morgan Point Light house, in Noank, for a little over $1 million. After nearly putting in twice that much in renovations by gutting the lighthouse to the granite walls and adding on to the personal living space behind the structure, the Pilalas' were able to move in in May of 1993.
